who art worshipped by the Devas, I
salute Thee; O Mahalakshmi, wielder
of conch, disc and mace, obeisance to
Thee.

the Garuda and art a terror to Asura
Kola; O Devi Mahalakshmi, remover
of all miseries, my obeisance to Thee.

all, giver of all boons, a terror to all
the wicked, remover of all sorrow,
obeisance to Thee.

liberation, Thou hast always the
mystic symbols as Thy form, O
Mahalakshmi, obeisance to Thee.
5. O Devi, Maheshwari, without a
beginning or an end, O Primeval
Energy, born of Yoga, O
Mahalakshmi, obeisance to Thee.

great prosperity and great remover of
all sins, obeisance to Thee.
